Two Kinds of People

1 Conversation

It's often said that "there are two kinds of people in this world...", but there are various opinions as to what those two groups are. It seems there is some deep urge in the human psyche to break the world into two vast camps around whichever factor an individual finds important.

In the hope of casting some light on what divisions are seen as especially important, this entry hopes to examine some of the common factions.

Rich/Poor

Town/Country

Scientifically Minded/Artsy People

Old/Young

Change - Love it/Loath it

"People who love eating little tiny shellfish with their bare fingers, and people who don't" - thanks to Rick Stein for that one.

"My favourite split of people is into those who cannot abide to be late - and those who always are" - Lucky Star
